Although he was ridiculed by Yang Hao in front of thousands of people, none of the foreign merchants of the great powers withdrew angrily. On the contrary, in the next competition, an unexpectedly large amount of money was thrown at it, and a number of key projects were grabbed, which made the representatives of the Chinese business group almost drop their jaws.

Afterwards, someone who knew the inside story made a special statistics, and almost all the foreign bank capital of various countries was invested in all their families in the Far East, and the total amount was as high as 500 million or 600 million yuan! This can almost easily boost a country's economic aggregate out of thin air.

If Yang Hao used the money to develop the navy, he would be able to build a super fleet no less than the British Royal Navy. This is tantamount to the great powers' capital enemies!

However, not many people were surprised. What foreigners do, and now everyone knows. For the sake of money, they can sell a qiē festival without hesitation, what is the enemy? On the contrary, countries see it as an important investment to re-engage in the economic boom of the Far East, and to reap far more profits in the future than they did on their own.

This argument is by no means unfounded.

In the past years, in addition to relying on military threats and plunder, the commercial capital of various countries in the Far East mainly relied on import and export trade, and a small amount of development of Southeast Asian colonies, or participated in the construction and development of railways and mines in various countries. Later, it was mixed with war loans between China and Japan.

At that time, it seemed that the profits were already very lucrative, and if they continued to develop on a rolling basis for a long time, they could also grow into a number of giants with assets of more than 100 million yuan and two silver pairs. However, after the rise of Yang Hao's revolutionary army group, all of them came to naught. Those who are too small have long since gone bankrupt, and some of those who have accumulated a lot of money have directly abandoned the Far East industry and returned to China to become rich men.

The most persistent large groups such as Jardine Matheson. then shrink in the place stubbornly waiting for the opportunity. Fortunately, they waited for today's investment conference. Although the result was not at all the same as they had hoped, there was another possibility. If you get involved, you may be able to get better results in the future than planned.

To put it simply, Kaisark and they all understand the popular industrial chain promoted by Yang Hao. It is estimated that this scale is equivalent to the culmination of the entire world's 100-year industrial revolution, and the investment involved will be calculated at 10 billion yuan of silver, and the output value will reach hundreds of billions in the next few decades, which can be called an astronomical super project!

As long as they can seize the opportunity to participate, they can not only quickly revitalize the assets that are depreciating day by day, but also get countless benefits from them. That's not just the most straightforward economic benefit. There are more immeasurable political benefits!

After the conference, the British did not leave Shanghai immediately. After a quick exchange of information with the temporary allies of other countries, they closed up and discussed and summarized them.

"It is clear that neither the upper echelons of the empire nor the representatives of the business community can refuse an investment project with such a high rate of return. It is possible to use either warship. You don't have to send a single soldier to get a reward in the tens of millions of pounds, and I don't think anyone would refuse. But I believe that everyone must be fully prepared for the risks involved. ”

The first thing he values is political interests.

In the past, it has been entangled in the forces of various countries to play confrontation with China, and in addition to spending countless funds and resources, it is still far away to get results. In all likelihood, this will be a huge stain on the careers of these diplomats, and the future of them is very high.

But now it can be in the form of a commercial investment. Actively participate in the core projects of China's economic and military expansion strategy. Just from the point of view of Britain's usual habit of controlling and influencing the regional situation, there is no doubt that it can play a more effective role than before.

Kaisark and others are more interested in commercial returns. He has a clearer view: "Our investment is actually starting to pay off. First of all, I believe that investors from all sides have learned that the Chinese are guaranteed by the country's military strength and political credit. With the huge potential benefits of the external volume as a weight, mobilize the precipitation funds to invest, and then respect the control and use of the government's power, so as to build a huge financial leverage, leverage the national level of industrial construction and monetary implementation ....... I have to say, what a genius great idea! ”

He felt it from the heart.

At the time of the launch of the investment conference. The investors from all parties should only be the revolutionary military government headed by Yang Hao, and they should use external funds to help them develop Philippine resources. Solve the problem of shortage of resources for domestic industrial construction, and open up a vast dumping market by the way.

That's all. It is also enough to attract the active participation of financial and business giants from all walks of life at home and abroad.

But when it really entered the stage of investment promotion, Yang Hao's unprecedented plan officially shook everyone's minds! Only then did they suddenly realize that they had thought too simple about things before!

First of all, the conference requires participants to pay a hefty bid deposit, at least 5% of the target amount. After winning the bid, it will be converted into the total investment amount and will not be refunded. This brings in hundreds of millions of dollars in real money, but it is nothing more than an appetizer.

After that, the successful winner of the project in the bidding will pay all the contract money according to the bid amount within a time limit - that is, a certain plot of land, a certain mineral deposit, a certain infrastructure project in the Philippines, the contract money and the development deposit for the next few decades!

This money is just to confirm that you have obtained the development rights of a project for decades, and the official start of construction still requires real money. This alone will push the entire investment scale to a huge scale of one billion yuan! Note that all winning bidders are required to come up with real money, not foreign banknotes!

All hard currency will be used as China's national reserve, and banknotes will be issued in proportion to the total amount. On this basis, the development investment of all projects in the Philippines by each contractor must also be exchanged for real money and silver before entering the circulation field. Invisibly, it has strongly promoted the issuance and application of China's credit currency.

This alone has forced the nation's commercial capital, financial power, landlords, and old wealth to exchange all gold and silver for banknotes, which plays a crucial role in unifying the nation's currency. Yang Hao does not need to cross the Yangtze River with a single soldier, and he can control the national economy in his hands. Once all is done. There will be no group in the country that can stand up to him.

It has even gone a step further to extend the scope of Chinese banknotes to Southeast Asia and become the settlement unit for commercial and financial activities in the entire region. And how much positive impact this will have can be seen in the pound sterling of this era, and the dollar of the world.

In accordance with the investment regulations. All contractors must strictly follow and enforce a series of laws and regulations imposed by the Chinese Revolutionary Military Government in their subsequent business activities. Whether it is trade, mine development, or factory production, etc., it is necessary to carry out all the policies that have been promoted in the revolutionary areas throughout the country.

And so on. All Chinese and commercial enterprises to the Philippines must comply with the corresponding rules and regulations, safety production regulations, labor union management methods, and workers' welfare benefits. Production safety and security .......

Fundamentally, by extending the norms of industrial and commercial activities promoted by China overseas, labor protection supplies alone can feed hundreds of thousands of production workers. As for the fully qualified production equipment, the current Western countries do not meet the standards at all, and can only purchase Chinese-made products. This is another huge industrial order.

Even if everything is done according to the rules, you have to have someone who knows how to manage production, right? You're going to have to set up a supervisory body, right? It is necessary to invite from China, and a large number of training schools and training courses have to be set up. It's another big deal of business.

All parties have come up with huge sums of money to bid, of course, hoping to make a profit as quickly as possible. If you want to complete the infrastructure that complies with the regulations, you have to bring in Chinese consultants. and even directly pull the construction team over. Then the team of migrant workers who have been vigorously cultivated from the beginning has countless jobs.

If countries want to learn from the scriptures, they have to exchange real money for it. Yang Haixin set up a large number of training courses in advance, waiting for all parties to send people to study. Since it involves high-end knowledge fields, can tuition fees be cheaper? At least it has to be at the level of an MBA.

Once all the qiē is ready, then everyone has to strictly follow the rules to do it. Who dares to play tricks. I feel that I am in an overseas colony, and I am engaged in the trick of disregarding people's lives. Once discovered, immediate and severe punishment will be given. The most direct means. Deduction money! The reason why each family pays so much security deposit and contract money is to force them to abide by the law. Whoever wants to get out of the black coal kiln, the death mine and the like, must detain him.

In the end, it may also forcibly withdraw the contracted project, resulting in a loss of money.

In the final analysis, the reason for this is also to enforce the normative operation. From the experience of this world, combined with the current situation of countries in the nineteenth century, Yang Hao knows very well how many unreasonable things businessmen can do for the sake of profit without supervision and strict regulations! The life expectancy of workers in Western countries is not even 20 years old, and a good guy can die of exhaustion next to the machine in two years.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the American workers' protest strike, which created a "May Day" and nominally obtained the benefits of the eight-hour workday, the countries would have truly moved towards civilization, and some of them were tossed up.

In response to this regulation, investors want to say that there is no contradiction, that is impossible. But for the sake of profit, they can only pinch their noses and admit their accounts. The southern landlords and gentry, who could not see the benefits in the short term, were just worried about the liquidation of Yang Hao's revolutionary army and had to accept the name. The northern merchant group was accustomed to the rules, and they didn't want to let go of the opportunity to make money, so they had to pinch their noses and admit it.

On the contrary, the merchants of the great powers and countries were keenly aware of the benefits, and actively studied and carefully studied the mysteries from the level of management systems and business operations.

After the bidding, Kaisark got the opportunity to hear about Yang Haixin's management course and got a complete set of business management textbooks, which was shocking! He believes that if this set of things can really be realized, the current extensive management and business operations of various countries will definitely produce revolutionary changes! So it's impossible to estimate how much of the improvement will be!

Just talking about work efficiency and product quality control can save them a lot of costs.

In addition to these clauses, which unilaterally put severe pressure on contractors, they also reap huge benefits. One is the overall improvement of production and operation, management and operation, etc., at the theoretical level. Whatever can be learned and applied by China's major industrial and commercial entities, regardless of country or power, can be learned.

In addition, all contractors can apply for loans from Yanhua Commercial Investment Bank if they encounter insufficient funds in the subsequent development activities. This is equivalent to Yang Hao forcibly collecting their money first, and then putting it into production in batches, but turning gold and silver into paper money, and the whole process is supervised and controlled.

Not to mention the minerals and raw materials they have developed. Therefore, there is also a market, and you don't have to worry about the bad consequences of throwing money into it and not being able to sell the output.

What's more, after a period of cooperation, the table xiàn good assessment qualified. There is also a great opportunity to participate in the field of upstream industrial production. As everyone knows, the more technology-intensive the industry, the greater the benefits - unless you can form a monopoly, it is really not easy for the underlying material provider to make money.

Such a favorable future is equivalent to a carrot hanging in front of a donkey's head for the commercial capital of countries eager to obtain China's advanced technology. It's enough to lure them into running wildly.

In the second place, they can at least obtain a complete set of mature geological and mineral exploration, mining and production technology, which is equivalent to a significant improvement in the level of industrial producers in various countries who are still in the stage of non-standardization. This is a "cheat" that money can't buy!

Kaisarc presided over a huge conglomerate with assets of tens of millions of pounds, operating in hundreds of production lines. From raw materials to processing, from commodity circulation to capital operation, and so on, the complex economy of the same country can most profoundly realize what a terrible impetus this entire business development plan will burst out once it runs smoothly!

With this complete system, even if it is not to develop the Philippines, Yang Hao is even using the Northeast development project that has gradually spread. It can also drive economic power that will affect the whole country, and then push the overall strength of its government to soar.

Speaking of which, after the initial attack on the Northeast, there was a three-pronged approach of industry, agriculture and immigration. Yang Hao was in control from beginning to end, and he didn't contract it out like this, because he didn't want external forces to interfere in the local business. On the surface, it was to solve the worries of the growing military group and ensure that the armed forces that absolutely obeyed his orders would not be bought by the landlords and gentry. Secretly, he did not allow the Chinese landlord and gentry class to have a chance to grow and rise again!

domestic. It will always be the lifeblood of the national capital control economy, and the strategy of large enterprises will form the leading force of workers. Build a solid national body to support the backbone, and completely disintegrate the clan rule of the imperial power that does not go to the countryside. Squire forces.

Now using the Philippines as a raft is to lead the tide of trouble, take the opportunity to extract the domestic precipitation forces in advance, integrate the commercial capital of the surrounding powers, and guide them into the right path of revitalizing China's economy according to the situation.

It drained the domestic gold and silver, and in turn vigorously promoted the expansion of industrialization in the north, further squeezing the land income of the landlords and gentry outside the power. Let the parties have no living money in their hands, let them have land and property, and the money is useless, and there will be no way to buy the armed forces against the revolutionary forces.

This big game of chess involves all aspects, and it really affects the whole body!

Sa Daoyi finally said helplessly: "It is no longer possible to stifle the rise of Yang Hao's military group, and China's local agents have no power to resist." The plan to use the Japanese war to deplete its strength no longer worked, and every Qiē had to re-plan. ”

Kaisark agreed: "Unless the Royal Navy can completely defeat them, we can only watch the Chinese continue to devour Asia." Once he completes the revolution, I think it will be impossible for the entire Western world to reach into the Pacific Ocean. ”

He is also very unwilling. After all, the first generation of Jardine's and Madison were the Far Eastern markets that the British Navy helped them fight. From the very beginning, they have stood in a high position and demanded from China. Now they are forced to follow the rules of the Chinese, and although they can still gain huge benefits, they have always lost that transcendent status.

I can't get by on the face, it's not decent!

The British died to save face no less than the Chinese, and a powerful empire needed to make everyone awe and submit. Today, Caesar and the others have temporarily succumbed, and what they have is the idea of "mastering the skills of the master to control the enemy". When they thoroughly understand the capabilities of the Chinese, and wait for the renewal and rise of the imperial navy, it is time to settle accounts after the autumn.

Unifying ideological understanding, the British partnered to seek domestic support -- after all, it was a project to invest in the Chinese, and they did not know how much risk there was, and of course it was safe to pull in more external funds as a cushion.

On the other hand, Yang Hao and Yang Haixin finally explained the entire plan to the core personnel, and Yan Fu and the others couldn't help but worry: "If you really let the great powers learn our things, with their industrial heritage, wouldn't they have to quickly improve their strength?" If you turn around and turn against us again, you'll be in trouble! ”

Yang Hao confidently comforted everyone: "Don't be afraid." Their heritage is also a fetter, and rash industrial innovation will only lead to more severe overcapacity, lead to an economic crisis, and stimulate greater domestic contradictions. Moreover, at that time, we also completed the unification and the first phase of industrial construction, which was enough to compete with the first-class powers in terms of scale, production capacity and technical level. With the support of our huge population and market size, we will certainly be able to rapidly increase our military power. There is no way that they can win a conventional war again. In addition, if there are many contradictions between the great powers, and if we break the balance of power between them with an uneven export of technology, then they will inevitably intensify the contradictions because of the competition for colonies and markets when there is no hope of attacking China. Maybe it could lead to an unprecedented war! ”

"War?!"

People who are familiar with the conflicts in the West over the past few hundred years immediately tasted the rich smell of blood contained in Yang Hao's words.

"Do you mean that there will be another fierce conflict between Germany and France or between Austria-Hungary and Russia?"

Yang Hao said solemnly: "It's much more powerful than that!" It's about embroiling the entire Western world, a world war! (To be continued)

ps: ps: The foreshadowing is over.
